yahoo has no lottery
Lottery winnings Info. If you really want to know if it's a scam, IT IS! When they ask you to send money, give bank account numbers credit card info ect .Do not give this info to anyone in an email!. If its real all they need is your mailing address to send you the money, with no up front fees to pay. REMEMBER IF YOU DID NOT SEND IN AN ENTERY FORM YOU CAN NOT WIN! http://www.fraudaid.com/ScamSpam/Lott

Unless you've recently been in Africa and purchased a ticket and gave them your email address, you didn't win anything, it's a scam.
Yahoo don't have a lottery. No one gives you money for nothing.
The reason scammers go to these lengths is to get stupid or gullible people to part with personal information, which can be used for identity theft, or money.
